NOW FOR THAT HELP…

Help me make a show that goes down in history!  I want to hear your story and so do many other future vendors.  Next Sunday, the 20th of January we will have a special two hour show jam packed with vendor stories of trial and tribulation, success, overcoming obstacles and more.

I will start the show off with the “Readers Digest” version of my early days and we will go from there with your story.

Don't be shy.  I will read your story if you would like, or you can call in to share your story live.  If you can't be present during the show, let me know this week and I can pre-record your story and play it during the show.

I HAS A SURPRISE FOR YOU!

I have been collecting, testing and doing surveys for over 2 years.  I have almost finished compiling and creating a realistic HOT DOG RECIPES REPORT including the number one recipes out there.  If you have a great recipe and would like to share, if you have your very own creation that does well for you, please email me at ben@benscarts.com/learn and you may be featured too.

This special recipe list with photos will be available free and I promise it doesn't include a bunch of useless casserole recipes.

OPINIONS

Do you have an opinion or advice for the Mobile Food Vendors Association?  They want to hear them.  They have been working hard trying to make the new site easier to use and filling its pages with tons of helpful information and links.  On the show, the Director – Sean Tibbetts asked what would prevent you from joining.  You can't hurt his feelings so feel free to share in the comments below.  You can email me and I will forward it to Sean and Amanda.  If you want to remain anonymous  just email me and say don't use my name.
